Objective: Noscof tablet is a fixed dosage combination formulation having diphenhydramine (DH), ephedrine (ED), noscapine (NP), and glycerol glycolate (GG). A sensitive, selective, accurate, precise, and stability-indicating reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method with photodiode array detection has been developed and validated for simultaneous analysis of DH, ED, NP, and GG in bulk drug and Noscof tablets. Methods: Reversed-phase chromatographic separation and analysis of DH, ED, NP, and GG were done on an Altima C18 column with 0.01 M KH2PO4 buffer (pH 3.5) and acetonitrile (50:50%, v/v) as mobile phase at 0.8 ml/min flow rate in isocratic mode. Detection was performed at 260 nm. The method was validated in harmony with International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. The tablet sample solution was subjected to diverse stress conditions using ICH strategy such as hydrolytic degradation (neutral - with distilled water, alkaline - with 2 N NaOH, and acidic - with 2 N HCl), oxidation (with 10% H2O2), photodegradation (exposing to UV light), and dry heat degradation (exposing to 105°C). Results: Using the above stated chromatographic conditions, sharp peaks were obtained for ED, NP, DH, and GG with retention time of 3.272 min, 4.098 min, 5.467 min, and 6.783 min, respectively. Good regression coefficient values were obtained in the range of 2–12 μg/ml for ED, 3.75–22.5 μg/ml for NP, 3.125–18.75 μg/ml for DH, and 25–150 μg/ml for GG. The quantification limits were 0.181 μg/ml, 0.187 μg/ml, 0.246 μg/ml, and 1.114 μg/ml for ED, NP, DH, and GG, respectively. The values of validation parameters are within the acceptance limits given by ICH. The ED, NP, DH, and GG showed more percent of degradation in acid condition and less percent of degradation in the neutral condition. The peaks of degradants did not interfere with the peaks of analytes. ED, NP, DH, and GG were assessed with a good percentage of the assay (near to 100%) and low percent relative standard deviation (<2%) in Noscof tablets using the proposed method. Conclusion: The stability indicating RP-HPLC method developed was suitable for quantifying ED, NP, DH, and GG simultaneously in bulk as well as in tablet formulation.

Abstract A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method has been developed and validated for the identification and assay of Ivermectin, including the identification and estimation of its process-related impurities and degradation products in bulk drug substance of Ivermectin. Analytes were separated on a HALO C18 column (100 mm × 4.6 mm I.D., 2.7 μm particle size) maintained at 40 °C (column temperature) with gradient elution. All analytes of interests were adequately separated within 25 min. All degradation products, process-related impurities and assay were monitored by ultraviolet detection at 254 nm. The new HPLC method described here successfully separated an isomer peak of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) from the major API peak. This newly separated isomer peak is around 1.2 to 1.5% (peak area) in typical API samples, and coelutes with the major API peak by all current HPLC methods. Quantitation limit of the HPLC method is 0.1% of target analytical concentration (~1.0 μg/mL). This method has been demonstrated to be accurate, robust, significantly higher degree of selectivity compared to the HPLC methods of Ivermectin drug substance reported in the literature and in the compendial HPLC methods prescribed in the current USA and European Pharmacopeia.

Detection was carried out at 243 nm using UV detector. Results: The method was found specific as there was no swab interference. The Beer–Lambert’s law was obeyed in the concentration range of 0.5–20 μg/ml for both rosuvastatin and aspirin. The mean percentage recoveries at 100% level were 89.4% for rosuvastatin and 82.1% for aspirin. The limit of detection and limit of quantification for rosuvastatin and aspirin were 0.03 μg/ml and 0.1 μg/ml, respectively. The method was found to be robust and precise with percentage RSD <2.0%. Conclusion: A simple, novel, and economical RP-HPLC method for cleaning validation has been developed for the simultaneous estimation of rosuvastatin and aspirin.
